LAPTOP Magazine • Palm Treo 700wx

The Palm Treo 700wx gives Sprint users a Windows Mobile version of the fabled Treo platform. It also comes with a few significant improvements over the 700w for Verizon, such as a much-needed upgrade to 64MB of RAM (up from the 700w’s 32MB), and the ability to use the 700wx as a laptop modem at fast EV-DO speeds (typically around 400 Kbps, almost as good as a DSL connection). Unfortunately, some of the same issues that plagued the 700w are still in play here.

Like all Treos, the 700wx is fairly large and weighs a hefty 6.4 ounces. It still sports an external antenna, though we hope to see that disappear in future versions. The 700wx’s QWERTY keyboard is easy to type on. When you combine it with the stylus and simple five-way navigator control, making calls and running applications is a pleasure.
